Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.

Tourner Bury questions
Is Tourner Bury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Tourner Bury?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you bring plates?

Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
